The MICE beamline instrumentation (trackers and PID) for a precise emittance measurement. |

The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out |
4 |
a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam, for the |
5 |
future Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. As the emittance measurement |
6 |
will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, a sophisticated beam |
7 |
instrumentation is needed to measure both particle coordinates and timing |
8 |
vs RF in a harsh environment due to high particle rates, fringe magnetic fields and RF backgrounds. A PID system, based on three time-of-flight stations (with |
9 |
resolutions up to 50-60 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and a KLOE-like |
10 |
calorimeter (KL) has been constructed and has allowed the commissioning of the |
11 |
MICE muon beamline in 2010. It will be soon followed by an |
12 |
Electron Muon Ranger to determine the muon range at the apparatus downstream |
13 |
end and later by two tracker detectors to trace incoming particles inside two |
14 |
high-field superconducting solenoids. |
15 |
Detector performances will be shown and their use for the beamline |
16 |
characterization fully illustrated. |
